Buckwheat Zydeco Tickets

First time seeing this show and wow was I entertained! Very small venue (the ark Ann Arbor) had us sitting within arms reach! The music, the stories, the crowd participation had us smilling from ear to ear! Would buy these recordings and attend again! It just goes unsaid. His band is outstanding, The lead guitar players ....well I thought I was seeing E. Clapton! Wow! If you get a chance see the show. You'll feel good all night!

Buckwheat has taken zydeco virtuosity to a new level. He also knows how to make a Hammond B3 smoke. The man also has a generous spirit. After the heaviest snow of the season, this felt like a mellow summer day down in the Big Easy. By the way, sendin' love to New Orleans and looking forward to a visit soon. Also have to note that every single member of the band is remarkable. If you ever get a chance to see Buckwheat and company, don't miss it!

Buckwheat & his band were outstanding. Played non stop for almost 2 hrs, great venue

Great show! Great performer! Cubby Bear is always great for an intimate show.

My husband and I are huge Buckwheat Zydeco fans and have several CD's that we listen to fairly often. This was the first time seeing him in person and we have to say that we gave the overall show a C- grade. The opening act was painfully long and Buckwheat - when he finally did come on stage only played for about 45 minutes. The sound mix was not very good as you could not hear the accordian too well and it seemed like the trumpet and guitars drowned out the true sounds of Zydeco music. We would like to see him again in person, but will try a different venue to see if the Cubby Bear was not the ideal place to hear him.

The concert was amazing! I got these tickets as something fun for my mom and I to go to because she's into zydeco and she used to play "The Big Easy" soundtrack all the time when I was a kid. I like zydeco and blues but wouldn't really consider myself a 'fan' of either. This concert changed this. The energy that Buckwheat and the band brought was extremely contagious. I feel like anyone who isn't afraid to let loose would really enjoy seeing Buckwheat live. The venue was intimate and we were able to get right up near the front. The music just made you want to dance and really lifted the spirit. They bring a very positive vibe that you can't help but get into. I can only imagine how great it would be to see them perform in a Mardi Gras setting!

Buckwheat Zydeco rocks. He has such energy and a winning smile, and his music just gets the room moving!

Buck Wheat is a party with an excellant band. His zydeco is second to none and he had the Cubby bear rocking. Lots of zydeco and buck wheat fans in attendance.

It's always a party when Buckwheat comes to town! Great performer, good band and one of the best travelling zydeco shows outside of the big easy. Set was kinda short, but it was definitely worth it.

Buckwheat Zydeco brought a band of seasoned musicians to the Cubby Bear lounge in Chicago. As of fan of his since the early 90's my wife and i were not disappointed!!!! The band played a great 2 1/2 hr. set even though the show had not sold out.

Buckwheat and his band were great. They put on quite a show. Very professional and the sound was fantastic. The surprise was a very good opening act by a band I'd never heard before, "Paul Cebar and the Milwaukeeans" They weren't listed on the ticket. They played all original material. Paul Cebar is a great vocalist backed up by journeyman musicians. The Northern Lights Theater at the Potowatami Casino is a terrific venue with no bad seats. Very intimate. I got more than my moneysworth. What a great way to spend the evening before Fat Tuesday.

I've been seeing Buckwheat for many years - he is still the ultimate sweet performer but I've noticed his sets are slowing down and he's doing a little more talking, less jamming. Granted, he's getting "up there" in years, so it's understandable, but I miss the "jumping all over" music we used to hear through the majority of his performances. Still a great entertainer and he's remarkable for his age. His concerts are always still fun at any venue!!!

Buckwheat's performance was tops. The downer for the evening was that the show started over one hour late necessitating our having to leave before it was over. Not exactly what we paid for.

Buckwheat is ALWAYS a good time. You just can not look at the guy without smiling!

good show nice venue could have been a bit bigger with an opening act

This is the 3rd time that I have seen Buckwheat and I always enjoy his show, although I must say that I think this was the best!

Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural was amazing! Loved the music. Loved the band. Loved the venue! And who knew you could do that with a washboard?! Not to mention the cool elderly man on the guitar! WHOA!! It was a great night!!
